The Rise of Deepfakes and Security Threats
Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) have made it increasingly difficult to differentiate between real and fabricated content, particularly with photorealistic videos. As technology becomes more accessible, the potential for misuse grows, allowing malicious actors to automate and conduct more complex cyber attacks. This raises significant security implications for organizations as traditional methods of verification, such as visual authentication via videos, become less reliable. One suggested approach to temper these risks involves implementing stronger identity verification systems to cope with the rise of deepfakes.
